Evolution of Design

~ The Evolution of Design~

Plans for the Chabad Lubavitch Center expansion have been underway since its announcement at the Thirtieth Anniversary Founders' Dinner with the then Israeli Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau on March 9, 2003.

A lot of thought and ingenuity brought to the beautiful outcome we have today. Here is an outline portraying the evolution of the design of the Chabad Lubavitch Center Expansion.

But, we needed a little more modernity to the design,
so we engaged in more options...

A friend came up with this (among many variations).

This seemed modern enough, and internal design was set forth.

The architect handed a member of his team the job of coming up with something more meaningful. Not being Jewish and familiar with Chabad, he harnessed the power of the internet researching what Chabad is all about.

He learned that Chabad is aboutVessel-Making:

Life's greatest challenge and it's most revolutionary achievement: The making of vessels for G‑dliness. The part of the transformation from a self-oriented object/person to one committed to something greater than itself. The "construction stage" of this vessel making is a greater feat than actually brining G‑dliness into our lives.

Now, after over thirty years of growth and service for all walks and ages of life, our center will now blossom to a new state of the art campus.

A glorious display of masterful modern architecture and ingenuity, the anchor institutions of the Chabad Lubavitch Center will enjoy enhanced facilities for their activities in outreach, education and social services.
